Guys,

I just got a new job!

I worked for a recruitment agency in Hamburg and found a new job at ... a recruitment agency in Hamburg! There is one thing I really need to say: Recruitment in Germany IS NOT like recruitment in UK.

I was blown away after I saw what kind of people do this job in the UK. We had 30 people working in Hamburg and 28 of them finished university. In the UK on the other hand it is basically as low as you can get for the white collar industry. I met some of my counterparts in London and I was basically the oldest one with 26 years. In Germany you have people who studied the stuff they are actually recruiting. I studied business administration with a focus on recruitment.

After some experiences at my former employer I am willing to declare that I WILL NEVER EVER WORK FOR A BRITISH COMPANY AGAIN!

I am now working for a company based in Switzerland and I made quite a big jump with my salary. 70k - 75k Euro (90k - 98k USD)  should be a realistic target.

I am currently studying/researching for my third degree, so hopefully I will get a good job out of it next year.

Congrats on the new job too! I am jealous

I work in the Aerospace Industry in Production Control, basically the middle man between my company and the big boys of Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Sikorsky and many other small-mid sized players. I am heavily leaned upon and it can get quite frustrating but I would say I pretty well compensated. As of last year we also became only the 10th supplier in the world to achieve "Supplier Gold" status for Sikorsky. In my time here (~3 years) I have also seen the company stock rise from ~$3.25/share to it's current ~$14/share.

I make ~50k/year and have wonderful hours of 7am-3:30pm, meaning I work 37.5 hours/week yet I get paid for 40 (1 hour lunch and a 15 minute break).

I would normally care more, but my lady is the bread winner in the house.

I am also the 2nd youngest in my department at 27 years old and have no college eductation. My job does help with schooling though if it is for a spot within the company, so I may look into student aid in Engineering when I hit my pay ceiling.

I study for 155 dollars per month. Sweet system indeed! :D



I have no idea what I'm gonna do once I'm done though... :(

i am a student finishing my degree

though i will start making $5m next year

Before or after taxes?

of course before!
